I am a medical student, graduating next year and sleeping 8 hrs per night. You can do anything you want, you don't have to sleep less, you just have to have a better management of your time. Sleeping is essential for your brain functions. It may feel like you're okay with 5 hrs sleep but in the long term people who slept less than 7 hours were the ones with more health issues. Be careful.

[@Coco-pr3rz]

thank you!

[@Allthingskait]

"You can do anything you want" said no one with kids, ever. LOL

[@kl6902]

Wait how do you sleep 8 hrs?? Are you pre-med or actually in medical school? Cuz residents are lucky to get an hr of sleep. I don’t know what kind of program lets you sleep 8 hrs 😂😂

[@ceven8037]

Residents aren't med students, they've already graduated and are working in hospitals as junior doctors. I'm not sure how it works outside Australia, but as long as you make the most of your days to study, you could easily get 8hrs sleep as a med student, even on rotations in the hospital.

[@Kevinschart]

people get hung up on waking up early. you can do all that stuff in the evening, after work. the reason you wake up early to meditate, workout, study, read etc. is because it is 1000x easier to own the time in the morning than it is to own your time after work. when you leave your job you're probably tired and stressed from a hard day of concentration. friends will ask you to hang out, you might have an event to go to, you may have to work late, or some other distraction will inevitably pop up in the evening. nothing ever "pops up" between the hours of 4-7. There are no distractions. Want to earn a certification, wake up early and work on it. want to learn the guitar, wake up early and work on it. want to get swole? wake up early and work on it.

[@Ohnogoblin]

As someone with depression I actually found this video super helpful, I find it hard to get out of bed at all, let alone early in the morning. I particularly related to the idea of “decision fatigue” although I hadn’t really put my finger on what it was before you articulated it.Thanks for the tips, I’ll definitely try them out!

[@feb14th1]

Same here! For me, it's so easy to let my brain to stay in these downward ruts and so hard to get out and face the day. This video was super helpful! You can do it, I believe in you :)!

[@cindi7228]

Me too. I suffer from anxiety which is worst in the early morning. I just wanna bury my head and sleep. But then when I sleep late I feel even worse about myself. Can’t win. Something needs to change.

[@qj2003fall]

good luck. Go for a change and start today. Know that you have a whole lot to live for and after doing preps the night before, you should feel less burden in the morning to wake up for.

[@godlygains4979]

[@yourneighbor7260]

Lol XD i have two sets of alarm. Their difference is the alarm ring. So i don't wake up to the same tune every morning. I tend to easily tune out anything that i hear regularly so if i hear the same sound every 3:30am everyday for 2-3 weeks my brain just gets used to it and learns to "not hear it". And i'll wake up later because i didn't hear the alarm ring. I also change the ring at some times because i easily get bored of the same tune. (￣▽￣;; ) But if i have things planned for the next day, i just automatically wake up early. The same when i had work.

[@dianahayday9194]

One tip I can recommend for those who struggle to get out of bed: After your alarm goes off stay in bed but STRETCH instead of going back to bed. It works so well for me!! I like to just lay for about another few minutes and by stretching it slowly wakes up my body plus it feels good! Look up yoga moves in bed videos on KZbin and you'll find lots of ways to stretch 😃😃

Just cut down social media you don't need to see what everyone is up to, cuz if you don't you'll wake up early start looking at your phone then baaam time wasted and waking up early went in vain.. It's not just about building the habit of waking up early but also what habits are you going to do when you wake up and this is exactly why it's a hard thing to maintain, Also wasting morning time feels a lot more frustrating than wasting a night time

"so our decisions become a lot more impulsive"... my reaction: ahh i guess that's why im eating cheetos right now past 12am

[@ik5759]

It's currently 4 a.m. and I haven't slept yet. And this is what youtube recommended me kinda late but okay.

[@sarahhusaini5822]

Seriously, I'm so grateful can found this channel. May God always bless you Mrs. Rowena❤️

[@buzzi2k]

Something super helpful for me is a sunrise alarm! A nice gentle, gradual waking up in the morning xx

[@kmms4720]

Honestly though, There was a small period in the year 20 of my life where I went to sleep at like 11 and woke up at 7 and it felt so good. Not only was it because I felt highly productive already because I’m already being disciplined but also because of health; I have anemia so the fact that I’d be feeling more tired than others because of my health, which is already affecting me in a way I can’t really control, I CAN control my sleep time. Honestly, the best week (or month) of my life because wow!! The difference is clear! I so want to get back into it but I’ve just been lazy so any tips drop them my way but I’ll do my best to redo this because it was honestly such a benefit!! Overall what I’m trying to say is that I was inspired by your video 💖

[@KaylaEliseYoga]

Super interesting research incorporated into this video! Planning the night before is huge for me - I actually sleep in my yoga clothes so when I wake up I can just roll out of bed, quickly get ready and then go teach or take a yoga class :)

[@meccashields1415]

That’s uber smart!

[@linap92]

Your enthusiasm is contagious! For my new job I have to leave for work at 5 am. I literally rush out the door last possible minute and am usually late lol... I totally know what you mean about it setting the tone for your day! Thanks!

[@lemonizi]

Such a great video! Last August I tried waking up around 5.30 am (I usually go to bed around 2 or 3 a.m.) and that month was SO PRODUCTIVE and I remember being so happy about myself, it did not feel like a punishment, but on the contrary it felt super amazing! I just need to get back to that habit, now I wake up at 10-11 am and I feel miserable.. thanks for the motivation!

[@laraeden2368]

Okay but I know that if I wake up at 4-5am I feel its easier to not feel like my day has gone to waste and I can do everything I like etc etc and this video is exactly what I didn't know I was looking for, thank you so much x (subscribing btw you're awesome xo)

[@a.k.akarin]

I used birdsong as my alarm all through Uni while I was living in the city. Then I moved back home to the sticks where we have actual birdsong. DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA HOW EARLY THE DAWN CHORUS IS! I was literally awake at 4am thinking why is my alarm going off? But it was actually birds! 2 years later I now wake up to the radio...ironically I also now wake up at 5am.

[@ducky4puddles782]

I can't help but to giggle at her alarm choice. I need my loud alarms (all 10 of them) cause I could sleep through a freakin hurricane. But I love all the other points she made! Haha

[@drn6741]

ducky4 puddles I wish I could sleep through a hurricane. Almost everything wakes me up. On the plus side, my alarm clock beeps just once and I’m up!

[@TempestPhaedra]

saaaame. I have slept through fire alarms before. Heavy sleeper AND slight hearing loss. I set at least 4 different alarms each morning and they have at least 2 different, really loud sounds. I've been looking into rigging a lamp with a timer so maybe the light will do half the work of waking me up and I could just set one or two normal alarms

[@littleukeemonster]

I slept through a tsunami warning :'( the sirens like a 100 feet down my road

[@roksanaakther7025]

As a muslim this is mendatory for us to rise atleast 30 min before sunrise to pray our paryer....

[@ionnoXD]

Can we talk about how Rowena can talk with such little cuts/edits? It's so satisfying, especially the silly parts lmao.

[@_VatsalaUpadhyay]

Finally someone who DOESN'T look fake

[@9Nikko8]

Right? She seems very genuine to me too

[@noellesavidou1688]

And really natural and sweet ! Gonna try this out.

[@veenam3441]

Yes! That's what Iove about her.

[@RachelRobinvlogs]

Is it just me or is it harder to get out of bed as you get older? 😂

[@HelenaAwode]

this was the first waking up early video that was actually helpful! Im gonna start doing this tomorrow being that its 2:46 am as I'm watching this video lol. Im glad I found your channel I just subscribed!

[@sshukoo_34]

Just wanted to say thank you 💕. Really needed a wake up call on priotizing what's important 😣

[@gracie_hannah_banana]

After being ill and the chaos of winter break, I’ve been having trouble getting back into my habit of waking at 4:00am. Pushing back my bedtime by 30min intervals or so right now, glad to be coming back to my early-bird morning routines!

[@velvetmel]

Omg I usually wake up at 4:30 naturally, but i fall back asleep cause I think “I’ll just wake up at 5:30” but who the heck am I kidding? Cause then I wake up at 9:30 :-) I need to start thinking like this and just STAY awake

[@Jadenmic]

melaniite OMG meeee 😚😂

[@DarkPriestessJae]

I sooooo empathize with this!

[@alexisnevrose2420]

Lmao 9:30 I end up waking up at 1:00 pm

[@yuviamendoza4317]

Her: So I have been waking up at 4am for 3 weeks straight now Her: So background about me I am not good at waking up early Me: I don't.. I don't believe you

[@kimseokjin6541]

Same😂😂😂

[@vixikie]

I go to bed at 4 am 😆

[@Coriraefit]

Ive just recently started waking up at 4:30am and its changed my life! Great video :)

[@panicpineapple]

I just found your channel, and I'm generally not a fan of lifestyle and self-help vloggers because I find it to be too gimmicky, and a lot of them come across as flexing ("I eat only organic food from my own garden, I seemingly don't really have a job, I live in this giant house and these are all reasons I'm better than you" type of vibe that makes me uncomfortable and bored after less than a minute) but your videos have a totally different vibe. Your videos are very calming and very down to earth. You can tell immediately when you open your mouth that you're a humble, spiritual, and amazing person. You really are like, future goals, without seeming unattainable. 😍

[@loidacolon2583]

I can relate to you so much. I do the same thing in the morning, I turn off my alarms, and go back to sleep, haha. Thanks for keeping it real! : D

[@mollyfaye]

Trying to wake up at 5 tomorrow morning! Wish me luck! I have kiddos and need the me time and prayer time! Love your videos!

[@mollyfaye]

It was awesome!!! Thanks for asking! ❤️ I actually got up at 4:50! I got so much prayer time and meditation done! And I planned my coffee out the night before so I wouldn’t wake anybody!!! You have been such a motivator for me! Inspiration? Not sure what the word is, but your videos have been super helpful and encouraging! Thanks so much!

[@Wheres_Bunny]

Bro, 2001 Steve Jobs really stepped up his style game

[@heathenhorn2925]

I love watching Beauty Within, but seeing you in your own videos being so beautifully yourself is awesome. I love how genuine you are

[@Mubbiebug]

I clicked on this video because it said "non-hacky". Why does everything have to be a hack lately?? This was refreshing! Great video!

[@rowena]

riight 🙈😅 thanks for being here Maddie!

[@EndThe2plus2equals5]

I used to go to bed at 4am or even 5am when I was a bartender or server. Now, my career is much better and I wake up at 4am. Definitely get everything ready the night before and go to bed so you get enough sleep for YOU. I hate waking up so early but really, it's way more beneficial than sleeping in until noon or later. I have serious issues with sleeping and I know that this does work.

[@laureldreams]

honestly i wouldn't hear the alarm tune if it was birds chirping thats why i don't set up alarms with that :p

[@Max-un7qt]

Daphne ASMR exactly because I just think it's the actual birds chirping

[@starryeyes567]

I've been using the same alarm, you might be surprised. Try it out with a backup alarm that goes off a minute later

[@lindsayfranusic7046]

I can’t find this on my iphone! Is it a paid tone? If so where do I find it and what is it called

[@TUBEalicious]

I was always worried that I wouldn't wake up to the more gentle tones like that for the mornings, I figured I would sleep right through them. But honestly it's a much gentler way to wake up and it works.

[@bisoubella]

It's in the bedtime section of the alarms

[@anastasiashpit9663]

That very feeling when you are watching this video at night.

[@MishaArtistry]

This actually really helped me. I got re-motivated to start my day earlier and now I'm aiming to get up at 6am everyday. Day one was a success!!! Thank you!

[@MishaArtistry]

I even use the birds chirping alarm now instead of the super loud annoying one, I woke up so relaxed LOL

[@mm.6050]

Hi Rowena. I just want to say that you are absolutely one of my favorites here in youtube. Your content in your videos are superb and relevant. I'm amazed at how smart you are. I'm a doctor doing straight duties at the hospital. Watching your videos is absolutely one of my greatest stress (and COVID free) relief. Apart from skin care and watching beauty within. 😃

[@queeniebaggins3732]

I like to achieve 15mins of cleaning morning and evening. The house will always be clean and organised 👍

[@clardiaaishkova5268]

Your like the coolest chick, actually really informative!

[@claudiayates1808]

I've been waking up between 8 and 11am during my holidays then I started school and I couldn't change my routine so I've been skipping school. I would literally get into bed at 7/8 and couldn't sleep until 1/2. This is because I was going on my phone in bed. I got quite behind in school so I had a lot to do this weekend. I set my alarm for 5am but was expecting to snooze until 6am. I read before falling asleep... And I woke up by myself at 4am!!! First thing I thought of was this video I watched ages ago (: I'm so happy, when I saw how early I woke up and tried to get back to sleep but I literally couldn't because my body was already rejuvenated and ready for the day. So I got up, stretched, did my devotions (spent time with God for the first time in a long time!), studied for a bit, had breakfast and took my dog on a big run. Right now having a study break and already gotten so much done. So moral of the story, don't go on screens before bed, listen to your body and you CAN do it!!

[@zaracapina7915]

2020; i just discovered you and your videos are now on my downloaded list, watch later list, and is currently on play 🤍 i am loving you right now! 🇵🇭

[@jain3484]

You inspire me. I need to get my shit together, and for some reason, I believe that I can because you did it? You just give me the vibes that you did NOT have your shit together before, but finally do. So I believe you.

[@arabellarobbins711]

"I'm a bag lady" Haha. Love it. Love this channel.

[@Eva-rf8tq]

I want to wake up in 05:30 but I just say "I will just close my eyes for 2 seconds" sadly those 2 seconds turn in an hour...

[@PB-9697]

So true😂

[@Eva-rf8tq]

Rowena Tsai hahaha

[@molliewilliams-hughes4964]

Eva why is this me?!! 😭😂❤️

[@kenners4975]

the most important thing to actually staying awake is sitting up. if you can do that then you will be up

[@黃可鎂]

最近覺得自己太拖延了 覺得第四點說得很不錯 有當頭棒喝的感覺 努力成為自己期許的樣子 ♥

[@ceteha.emceha]

I have a hard time waking up early in the morning, and KZbin just recommended me this. WOW just WOW

[@AnushaChoudhary]

1. I love how the whole video of you talking has no cuts in between. 2. THE SOUTHERN ACCENT 3. Thanks so much for making this video, it opened my eyes to the decision fatigue in my own life. 4. You're nice, keep going!

[@listenupkids]

I like to listen to you, it's so pleasant and soothing You're a treasure Rowena

[@TaliasTouch]

That plant that you keep hitting is driving me crazy 😂

[@rowena]

sorry about that 😅😭

[@missmargmillionaire6421]

I love how you added "non hacky" that was my click indicator

[@noonescreativecache]

Thanks for the video! It was really helpful to have #4 spelled out. Me morning schedules seem to work best when I have a reason to get up early and this helped clarify why

[@rurintoge7425]

I know this is two years old but I just watched it again and realized how "approachable" you seem here. It's like being on the other side of video chat, they way you talk about this is so... lively? As if a friend is discussing it with me lol... idk what I'm saying. But it's really fun to watch this.

[@hehehanie]

im in my senior year of high school so there's a lot that i want to change before ending my school years. u really motivated me! thankyou so much 🥰 p.s; sorry for my bad grammar lmao

[@MichaelThomasDev]

One of the best videos on KZbin on this topic. Thanks!

[@aqeelaalmahdi325]

I totally agree

[@amralicina8872]

Michael Thomas trueee

[@katieh7927]

im such a heavy sleeper that the only way i can wake up is putting on an alarm with vibrate and putting my phone under my pillow so my whole pillow vibrates and wakes me up

[@katieh7927]

Rowena Tsai woah I did not know that was a thing

[@gretchensmith2852]

Maybe look into trying to buy an alarm that would do something similar. I think I saw something like that online a while ago. I used to sleep on my phone, too, until I watched a TED Talk about how the radiation can mess with your brain's ability to flush out neurotoxins while you sleep. I found a different alarm after that. ;)

[@CuriousCat777]

Phones are toxic. Don’t sleep w them, not even in close proximity.

[@luchysanz2793]

Woke up feeling motivated and just wanted to watch something that can add to the way Im feeling and thankfully I clicked this video. Really enjoyed watching, love what you do.

[@rowena]

thanks Luchy ☺️ sending you lots of love!

[@LinhPodetti]

It's super exciting to be waking up at 4am! I love doing it!!

[@moominmay]

If I could choose a KZbin bestie it would be you! 😊

[@LPS-wv6rr]

I’m watching this instead of going to sleep I have to get up at 7:00am and it’s 3:00am 😂😂 oops

[@karolineluvi6810]

Currently watching this at 4 a.m. because I haven’t gone to sleep yet 😂

[@brandell4638]

Woke up at 4:30. Watched vids till now (8:45) on how to get up. Your fun approach really helped. Thanks!

[@purnimasuresh9878]

You have a really witty/funny way of talking! Makes the entire video very fun to watch! :)
